At 9h45 , arrival of the symposium "Cyprus and the sea" : about thirty people . Among the interesting comments: Steffy : ⓧ it is not necessary that there be a capstan in front of each ramp: there could be a single central capstan, which would haul the boats one after the others thanks to a system of relays horizontal -> look for blocks (?) which would serve as "bollards" for the horizontal relays ⓧ also speaks of another system (tackles = not clear ) ⓧ entirely agrees about the sledge systems - on this point, see further on ⓧ thinks that the boats could extend a little over the terrace . -->
